Every single detail about this picture makes me miss living in a fashion aware city! The hem whispers…the shoes (*AH!) make such a subtle, sexy, affirmative statement…AND the detail on the purse….yes right down to the detail on the purse frame/clasp (?) offers a sweet traditional anchor to the outfit. The shoes are progressive and daring and the lines and design of the purse counter a bit. Ah! Fashion. Well played!

I think the sheer hem is tres chic…something that’s easily done on a sewing machine (rolled hem foot) or even the serger (three-thread rolled hem??). I’d temporarily stiffen the sheer fabric with a spray stabilizer to make it easier to sew. But it’s a hot look, made all the more adorable with those sexy stilettos. Whew, baby!

Not a fan of the heels, which look painfully high, but the rest of the ensemble is outstanding. You were right to call attention to the sheer hem – it could be easily missed, but is such a visual treat.
